Professional summary

Engineering depth, with commercial, analytical & compliance experience

I am a software engineer, data practitioner, and financial‑services professional who builds practical systems for complex, data‑intensive businesses. My work sits at the intersection of backend engineering, full‑stack product development, automation, analytics, fintech, trading technology, and regulated operations. I turn unclear processes, fragmented data, and ambitious product ideas into reliable software that people can use, measure, and improve.

Python is my core engineering language. I design and develop APIs, backend services, automation workflows, data pipelines, internal platforms, dashboards, and customer‑facing web products. I combine clean architecture, maintainable code, clear APIs, careful data design, and automated testing with a strong understanding of the business logic behind the product.

An uncommon blend

Alongside engineering, I bring an unusual perspective from financial services and compliance — AML, transaction‑risk, customer due diligence, and MLRO‑level responsibility in regulated environments. I don't just build systems; I design them with controls, auditability, risk awareness, and data integrity in mind.

  • Python services, APIs, automation, and data pipelines
  • Full‑stack delivery with modern UI and clean UX
  • Data engineering, analytics, and intelligent workflows
  • FinTech, RegTech, and AML/MLRO compliance
  • AI‑accelerated prototyping and production delivery
